My wife, knowing my love for Robots picked me up "How To Build A Robot Army". Robots have gotten a lot of bad press, what with shows like BattlestarGalactica or the Terminator series of movies, you know the cliche-ick (wd) plot line... Man creates Robot, Robot gets smarter and stronger then Man, Robot tries to destroy Man, very unfair for the Robots....People ..Robots are our friends, they only want what's best for their creators and this book shows that side of Robots.

The Book does a good job of letting the reader know the state of affairs concerning Robots in today's world and also how we might improve them by weaponizing and training them for battle, because we all know, surely the world of tomorrow is going to be fraught with danger, anybody that's watched movies knows this to be true.

So where do you start, author Daniel Wilson suggest starting your own Robot army can be as simple as duct taping a steak knife or Scissors to the top of a Robot vac, if an alien attacks, just point the bot at the unsuspecting Alien, then when the Alien goes to step on your low profile bot, you have your first victim, I'm thinking especially if it is a one legged variety Alien.

With titles of chapters like"How to Convert your Car into an Unmanned Ground Vehicle", "How To Keep A Sexy Fembot Fit For Battle" or "How To Deploy Spying Robots Bugs", you'll be set for any battles against any evildoers whether it be , Aliens, Vampires, Ninjas, Godzilla, Werewolves or White Sharks.

Just a heads up, tomorrow, June 4 at 9 pm EDT on the National Geographic Channel," World's Toughest Fixes: Satellite Launch." Get a behind the scenes look at what goes into launching a 250 million dollar 2 ton communications satellite on top of a rocket the size of a 12 story building. Watch as teams of scientists and engineers race to make final repairs and the launch window from French Guiana. I am hearing through my National Geographic Channel contact there are more excellent space show premieres coming up in August so stay tuned for further updates.

Great post. I also love robots. I can't wait for Asimov's dream to come true, and with the latest advances in computer technology and micromechanics, it could be sooner than we think. In the meantime, my daughter bought me an iRobot vacuum cleaner. But truthfully, the iRobot has a long way to go before we need be concerned about robots taking over the world.

Love the videos and I will watch out for the TV. The news video with the "robot cavity search" was very funny.

Not that I'm particularly worried about aliens or zombies, nor am I sure how they'll help against Great White Sharks (though what a shark would want in the contaminated water off Galveston I have no idea).

I often think people really have no real appreciation for how bloody difficult it is to launch things into space. Kudos for those out to educate our public.

Hi Bob,I tried sending you an email in regards to your SlogBite membership, but the email address that you left failed. Could you email me at mkaye@slogbite.com so that I can email to you the last piece that you need to complete the membership process.

Robots, lol, I heard that robots been invented because we are becoming lazy, lol. My sister talks about robots all the time, doing stuff for her, lol, and I think it is crazy idea, lol, but now that I have so much to do, sometimes a cooking robot would be nice, lol. Excellent post as always, Anna :)

If ever we're attacked by aliens, I'd suggest we just throw up our hands and give up. It won't take long for the aliens to figure out that we're doing a good enough job of killing ourselves, so they'll take flight back to wherever they came from, in fright!

Lol Max, yeah, Robots will probably take over us and the world, but I'd rather be taken over by them then evil terrorists, in fact Robots will take care of that problem for us at least,lol. All kidding aside, Robots could so take terrorists one on one, wouldn't even be close.\m/\m/

Hey Bob I forgot to tell you, but Matthew knows the Moon, the birds and planes on the sky. I think the other day he probably wanted me to take the moon and give it to him, lol, as he kept pointing and moving my face toward it, it is usually sign if he want's us to do something, lol. I thought I tell you this....Anna :)
